I don't know if i am just an impatient person or something but i think that at about level 45 mobs start taking a long time to kill. The mobs arent more challenging to kill or doing anything that would make it harder to win but they seem to have insane amounts of hit points. Fighting in Kuftal at level 51, i have had 3 parties and we had good combos like rdm,whm,blm,pld,drk,smn and we still take 3-4 minutes per mob and only get maybe 1500 xp/hr. What is up with that?

I noticed this too and thought that was how it was gonna be but then at lvl 49 I hit a PT that was serving mobs at the rate of 1-2 minutes per mob. It was something like RNG MNK WHM RDM PLD DRK. So I guess me and you have just a had a bad PT streak ; )

Admittedly, levelling does seem to slow down past 50, but I always thought it was more of a mentality thing because of the sharp increase in the experience needed to get to the next level. However, 1500xp/hour does sound a tad low. Perhaps it might have to do with being slightly too low levelled to handle the mobs there, or just undesirable PT dynamics.

Mobs don't really take longer to kill... The time for each Exp Chain gets more demanding actually, which means you'd actually have to work even harder. I think it's a challenge, PTs are always happy when they manage a Chain #5 (( and always try to get Chains beyond that, really )).

Bottomline is, if you're worried about experience going to always be 1500xp/hour from hence on... well, don't, because it isn't (( unless by some freak chance you keep getting into bad PTs... but let's hope not ))! So... fret not, and keep trying. o.Ob Good luck!
